Alobar Yorkville is tucked along a pathway in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood. It puts its foot forward as a cocktail bar, but it is a full-fledged Michelin recommended à la carte restaurant, offering choice seafood with the finest accoutrements, fish and chops off of the charcoal grill, and world-class wines, all served with genuine hospitality. Alobar Yorkville boasts a comfortable courtyard patio merging warm skies with ice cold cocktails during the summer.

Alobar Yorkville's menu pairs french cooking techniques with international ingredients and prime steak and proteins cooked on our charcoal grill.

From the OpenTable editors: As its name suggests, Alobar excels in the drinks department, offering standout cocktails and a well-curated wine list. As the laid-back sister spot to the renowned tasting menu restaurant Alo, Alobar shares the same passion for local ingredients and borderless culinary inspirations. Chef Patrick Kriss brings a relaxed take on fine dining to dishes like confit duck pappardelle and torched hamachi.

Food was quite good. Service was a little lacking, server did little to explain the menu. And bus boy only packed up one of our three dishes to go. Throwing out two fairly full sides. And while birthday was on the reservation and the host knew. It appears that was not communicated to the server as the dessert came with no candle or fanfare. (the table next to us got a birthday candle with their dessert)

The staff are very friendly. It is a small restaurant with limited seating. Timing of food was perfect and that’s because the server was excellent. The apps were great. The truffle pasta lacked flavour. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, however it was over salted (we love our salt, but even this was too much for us). Banana cream pie was decadent. Great staff, but wish the mains were better.

Went for Valentine’s Day and it was amazing. Didn’t feel like the skimped out on portions cause it was a prix fixe menu. Probably one of the better meals I’ve had in my life. We did wine pairings too, it was awesome. Highly recommend.

The first time I have to pay the entire meal and the tip (20% with no chance to change it) before even entering the place (what if I didn’t like the service?). People should be free to decide the tip based on the service received (to note: 2 people party). A bit surprising and disappointing from a place of this level. The food was good but I was expecting more from a Michelin star restaurant. The appetizers were very very good. Pasta was ok: pasta itself great, truffle had no taste. Meat was ruined as it was too greasy (too much butter?), a pity as it was cooked very well. Music was in my view not adequate for san valentine (rock?!). Service was good.
